Our goal is to interpret the energy equation from Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) of Magueijo-Smolin with an invariant Planck energy scale in order to obtain the speed of light with an explicit dependence on the background temperature of the expanding universe. We also investigate how other universal constants, including the fine structure constant, have varied since the early universe and, thus, how they have evoluted over the cosmological time related to the temperature of the expanding universe. For instance, we show that both the Planck constant and the electron charge were also too large in the early universe. However, we finally conclude that the fine structure constant has remained invariant with the age and temperature of the universe, which is in agreement with laboratory tests and some observational data.

In this paper, we analyze the effects of expansion on large scale structure formation in our Universe. We do that by incorporating a cosmological constant term in the gravitational partition function. This gravitational partition function with a cosm
ological constant is used for analyzing the thermodynamics of this system. We analyze the virial expansion for this system, and obtain its equation of state. It is observed that the generalization of this equation of state is like the Van der Waals equation. We also analyze a gravitational phase transition in this system using the mean field theory. We construct the cosmic energy equation for this system of galaxies, and discuss its consequences. We obtain and analyze the distribution function for this system, using the gravitational partition function. We also compare the results obtained in this paper with the observational data.
The Hubble law, determined from the distance modulii and redshifts of galaxies, for the past 80 years, has been used as strong evidence for an expanding universe. This claim is reviewed in light of the claimed lack of necessary evidence for time dila
tion in quasar and gamma-ray burst luminosity variations and other lines of evidence. It is concluded that the observations could be used to describe either a static universe (where the Hubble law results from some as-yet-unknown mechanism) or an expanding universe described by the standard Lambda cold dark matter model. In the latter case, size evolution of galaxies is necessary for agreement with observations. Yet the simple non-expanding Euclidean universe fits most data with the least number of assumptions. From this review it is apparent that there are still many unanswered questions in cosmology and the title question of this paper is still far from being answered.
The cosmological constant $Lambda$ is a free parameter in Einsteins equations of gravity. We propose to fix its value with a boundary condition: test particles should be free when outside causal contact, e.g. at infinity. Under this condition, we sho
w that constant vacuum energy does not change cosmic expansion and there can not be cosmic acceleration for an infinitely large and uniform Universe. The observed acceleration requires either a large Universe with evolving Dark Energy (DE) and equation of state $omega>-1$ or a finite causal boundary (that we call Causal Universe) without DE. The former cant explain why $Omega_Lambda simeq 2.3 Omega_m$ today, something that comes naturally with a finite Causal Universe. This boundary condition, combined with the anomalous lack of correlations observed above 60 degrees in the CMB predicts $Omega_Lambda simeq 0.70$ for a flat universe, with independence of any other measurements. This solution provides new clues and evidence for inflation and removes the need for Dark Energy or Modified Gravity.
We examine the recently derived quantum-mechanical relation between atomic polarizabilities and equilibrium internuclear distances in van der Waals (vdW) bonded diatomic systems [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 121}, 183401 (2018)]. For homonuclear dimers, this
relation is described by the compact formula $alpha_{rm m}^{rm q} = Phi R_{rm vdW}^7$, where the constant factor in front of the vdW radius was determined empirically. Here, we derive $Phi = (4piepsilon_0/a_0^4) times alpha^{4/3}$ expressed in terms of the vacuum electric permittivity $epsilon_0$, the Bohr radius $a_0$, and the fine-structure constant $alpha$. The validity of the obtained formula is confirmed by estimating the value of the fine-structure constant from non-relativistic quantum-mechanical calculations of atomic polarizabilities and equilibrium internuclear vdW distances. The presented derivation allows to interpret the fine-structure constant as the ratio between the polarizability densities of vacuum and matter, whereas the vdW radius becomes a geometrical length scale of atoms endowed by the vacuum field.
A means to extract the fine-structure constant $alpha$ from precision spectroscopic data on one-electron ions is presented. We show that in an appropriately weighted difference of the bound-electron $g$ factor and the ground state energy, nuclear str
uctural effects can be effectively suppressed. This method is anticipated to deliver an independent value of $alpha$ via existing or near-future combined Penning trap and x-ray spectroscopic technology, and enables decreasing the uncertainty of $alpha$ by orders of magnitude.
